Heat transfer in condensation, because a phase change is involved, requires complex analysis.

Condensation takes place when vapor is cooled down. Once this occurs, heat is transferred in a

fundamentally different manner than when heat is added or taken away from a fluid without such phase

change. When vapor is condensed, it lets go of considerable amounts of energy. he condensed fluid

becomes a barrier, in the form of a liquid film which either completely or partially covers the cooler

surface. !f the drainage of the fluid is done from vertical or inclined surface, the drainage will be naturally

faster than a hori"ontal surface. he film will be thinner. !f the vertical height is great, the accumulation of

condensate fluid at the lower portion of the surface will thicken the film and make the lower portion less

effective than the upper transmitting heat.
